Thiiiiis!

proportions of choco-candy-to-filling

I detest M&M Mini's for this exact reason! The candy shell overpowers the chocolate inside at that scale.

I know, right? I had this great idea for "Exploding Krytens" but it seems nobody much wants to see a droid blow up. And the hardlight projector was proving troublesome to produce in affordable numbers...

SO am I the only person who absolutely LOVES those table-tablets? I can't count the number of times a waitperson made us wait (ha!) to pay, even when all the food was eaten and the drinks were empty. I love good service, and don't mind recognizing it with a nice tip. But certain parts of the transaction don't really enhance either of our experiences.

That said, I'm looking forward to seeing what Taco Bell and McDonalds do with their web / app-based ordering and payment in advance systems...

Somehow, over a half-lifetime reading sci-fi and fantasy, I'm not sure I can say with conviction that I ever read *any* of Sir Pratchett's work. Now I feel bad. Aside from DiscWorld itself, any "essential Pratchett" I should educate myself with?

Once they hire Billywitchdoctor.com, they'll be ready to roll!

If he discovers the "Face on Mars" structure using the feed, he'll use the control room within to pilot Mars to Earth and CRUSH US ALLLLLL!

You're a machine code rocker?

I own a Mazda RX-8 with high mileage. Every so often I get snail-mail spam for an extended warranty, which I just throw out. One day, I was really bored and slightly curious about the protection, so I called them (bad form, I know). After going through a couple of menus, a friendly rep took my basic info, then frowned on his end. He regretfully informed me they don't offer warranties on RX-8s because it has a rotary motor.

So, genius, why do you keep sending me warranty offers you can't honor?

Somehow, I'm super lucky on my cell and receive maybe one spam call a month. I have no idea how many trillions of those calls go to my landline because I never check the messages and the ringer doesn't work...

Unless I did something without realizing, Google Hangouts does WiFi calling, no root required.

Be sure to let us know if you ever go on tour with Steve Martin - I'd love to see that!

And we all know how the Chinese government feels about extraditing nationals. So, who's got a spotlight and a bat-shaped silhouette handy?

Silly but seriosly-asked question - in the discussion of the relative height-from-center differences, has anyone taken the gravitic center into account? Isn't that what's most important, since that will determine when acceleration changes direction?

Since the gravitic center is essentially the Earth's center of mass, do we know if that point is dead-center? Given the differences in crust thickness, ocean placement, mountains, etc...?

Do I need to get more coffee?

Don't forget to frisk everyone you speak with! They may have untrustworthy mobiles!

Unless I miss GP's point, it's that NoScript blocks JS /per site/, so that scripts tied to external domains (often ad and content delivery networks) can be blocked while leaving the primary vendor's sites functional. By default, everything is blocked. You visit a new site and if something doesn't work, you pull up the menu and work your way from the core site's domain to as far as you think you need to go. You can whitelist or grant temporary session access.

I use it and love it. It's not perfect by itself but it doesn't take long to figure out what minimum is needed, and just how pervasive some ad networks are.

Let's be honest - you couldn't resist being a dick (deftly inlining concrete knowlwdge)

Fixed the fix for ya both!
